WASHINGTON. D. G., July 2S.-The
President to-day received telegram from
Senator Harris, saying that committee
Of 100 citizens of Memphis was coming to
Washington to invite the President to
visit that city during his western trip.
The President telegraphed to Senator Har-
ris, in reply, to use his influence 10 pre-
vent any movement OF the sort. He said
that while he WAS always pleased to see
the people OF Tennessee at the Capitol he
thinks that they ought to BIO spared a
long journey to Washington during the
heated term on mission OF this sort when o
written invitation sent by mail would be
az effective and as much appreciated.
Similar answers will be sent to other
Western cities where arrangements are
being made to send invitations bearing
committees to Warrington. 1t ia stated
at the White House that the President
will give the same consideration to invita-
tious received by mail as to those borne
by committees, no matter how large and
impressive the latter may be.
